Cricket


Cricket is one other popular sport in London . In fact, just like football, cricket was born in Weald, in southeast England near Kent. It is a much older game than football, as historians of the sport believe it to have been born sometime in 1066 during the Norman era of England.

Test cricket match tickets usually need to be bought in advance, but county cricket match tickets are usually available on the day of the match. There are two main venues for cricket matches.
